Quaint San Francisco home goes on the market for $1.5M — but it’s got a sinister past

A San Francisco home that was the site of a grisly quadruple murder-suicide just months ago has officially hit the market — and it’s priced to move at $1.49 million.

The three-bedroom, two-bath house at 930 Monterey Blvd. in the Westwood Highlands neighborhood was once the picture of suburban bliss.

But last October, it became a house of horrors when police discovered the bodies of Thomas Ocheltree, 57, his wife Paula Truong, 52, and their two young daughters, aged 9 and 12. 

Police officers and other personnel are gathered around the entrance of a house, marked off with yellow tape, where four people were found dead in San Francisco.

Investigators believe the family’s world unraveled after a string of failed business ventures and accumulating mounting debt, reported by the SF Standard.

Truong allegedly shot her husband and children before turning the gun on herself.

Now, roughly five months after the blood was scrubbed from the floors, the 1920’s-era home is looking for a fresh start.

While the $1.5 million price tag sounds steep to anyone living outside the Bay Area, it’s a relative steal for a neighborhood where similar homes regularly clear the $2 million mark.

California law requires realtors to disclose any death on the property that occurred within the last three years.

The home features classic SF charm, including big bay windows, an updated kitchen, newly refinished hardwood floors and fresh interior paint–though whether the “charms” outweigh the chilling history remains to be seen.
